Tips & Tricks:

Please add some!

Tested on Unity Engine. Sould be works on other .Net Framework/IDE:

Sample Code:

Please add some!

// *************************************************************************************
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

public class GetCursorPosTest : MonoBehaviour
{
    private ulong lpPoint = 0;
    [DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern bool GetCursorPos(out ulong _lpPoint);

Alternative Managed API:

Do you know one? Please contribute it!

    void LateUpdate()
    {    
        GetCursorPos(out lpPoint);
        int _x   =   (int)( lpPoint & 0x00000000FFFFFFFF);
        ulong _y = (ulong)( lpPoint & 0xFFFFFFFF00000000) >> 32;
        Debug.Log(_x + " / " + _y );
    }
}
// *************************************************************************************

Sample Code:

POINT p;
if (GetCursorPos(out p))
{
    label1.Text = Convert.ToString(p.X) + ";" + Convert.ToString(p.Y);
}

Alternative Managed API:

System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position
